BiggEd - What do you expect? They shoved an ill qualified presidential candidate, Barak Obama down our throat, "for our own good". Never asking the hard questions, even once. Just fawning over him and his platitudes, with "chills running down their legs".Meanwhile they beat the snot out of a more qualified female conservative, Governor Palin, taking cheap shots and with careful editing they made her look silly.The American public is not stupid, it's time to pay the piper Katie, Charlie, Chris and Keith. We're mad as hell and we ain't gonna take it anymore!94 people liked this.

Jamalagrin - The three, so called main news media, is nothing but a mouth piece for the Obama Administration and liberalism. The American people by the droves are turning to fair and balanced news from Fox News, The Internet, and Talk Radio.Very soon, the only ones watching these loser news stations will be hard core socialists and these loser network people themselves.80 people liked this.

amplover1 -Who cares. Thinking people do not watch network news. These networks' teleprompter readers simply regurgitate the talking points supporting the dictatorship. Most people watch their local news (biased against the citizens as it often is) and this leads into these leftist Marxist biased broadcasts. If it wasn't for local news, nobody would watch it. When they bring back journalists, and stop cheerleading the destruction of our nation, perhaps their fortunes will improve. Frankly, the success of CNN and MSNBC on cable should also tell them something. Williams, Sawyer, Couric - - these are not journalists. They are Democrat party propaganda experts.37 people liked this.

John Steinbeck -The network news work hand in hand with the democrat/socialist party.

Everything they do or report is driven by that fact.

If it helps democrats report it loudly. If it helps GOP bury it. If it hurts democrats bury it, if it hurts GOP scream it loudly.

Anyone with a brain knows this is true and the networks trying to deny this truth just makes them more and more irrelevant.

For years the networks tried to hide this fact but during the last decade and certainly during the election of Obama, the networks came completely out of the closet and showed their collusion with the cheer-leading they did for Obama.

When the final nail is driven into the coffin of the liberal biased media and they're buried 6 feet under, I will dance on their grave.114 people liked this.

alvinjh - The news networks never believed that people were offended by their constant left wing preaching. They never even TRIED to be fair in their coverage. I stopped watching them about 4 years ago. I don't miss them. And yes, I watch a lot of Fox News, and I read the International press online. Couric in particular irritated me with her disrespectful and haughty treatment of President Bush. We are a polarized people now. We have chosen sides. Too bad the network executives thought their job was to lead us to a particular destination rather than provide information and let us decide where we wanted to go ourselves. Well, that was their choice.90 people liked this.
